What is the best paint roller to use to paint concrete blocks?

Question

I do not want to use a spray painter or brush.

Answer 1

Stevo gave you the correct answer.

After applying thousands of gallons of paint, I have experiences that enlightened me.

I use various "nap" lengths depending on the substrate. In your case I'd probably use no less than 3/4 inch nap, and a cover that states NON SHEDDING.

The only issue you'll likely encounter is using more paint,,,but coverage will be better than 3/8 " or 1/2 "

You don't state if the block is raw or already painted?

You may still have to use a brush for mortar lines or holes in the block?

You also don't state why you don't want to spray? It truly is a fast, easy, economical, safe way to apply paint, outdoors.
